Add Conditional Formatting to Spreadsheets

May 8, 2026
Add intelligent visual cues to React spreadsheet applications so users can identify trends, thresholds, and key changes more efficiently.

Conditional formatting support in a React spreadsheet component allows developers to apply dynamic visual styling to cells based on defined rules, values, formulas where supported, or predefined conditions, such as highlighting trends, thresholds, errors, or status changes as data changes. This capability improves data readability and usability by helping users identify important information quickly without manual analysis, while also enabling more interactive and responsive data-driven applications. For software developers, it provides a familiar spreadsheet experience within React applications, reduces the need for custom rendering logic, and supports the creation of dashboards, financial tools, reporting systems, and enterprise data management interfaces with clearer visual context.

Several React spreadsheet controls support conditional formatting including:

  • SpreadJS by MESCIUS lets you apply rule-based conditional formatting in React spreadsheets, highlighting trends and thresholds with dynamic visual cell styling.
  • Infragistics Ignite UI for React Spreadsheet (part of Infragistics Ignite UI) allows you to create React spreadsheets using conditional formatting rules that emphasize critical data.
  • Syncfusion React Spreadsheet (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) facilitates conditional formatting enabling developers to visualize patterns and exceptions.

Add PDF Workflows to JavaScript Applications

May 6, 2026
Document Solutions for PDF JS helps developers create, edit, view, convert, and automate PDFs in browser-based and server-side JavaScript apps.

Document Solutions for PDF JS by MESCIUS is a JavaScript PDF API that enables software teams to add PDF functionality to web applications. It supports use cases such as generating documents, modifying existing files, rendering pages, handling forms, converting content, and automating PDF-related processes across browser-based and server-side JavaScript environments.

Beyond core document processing, the product provides tools for creating richer document workflows within custom applications. Its WebAssembly-based engine is designed for efficient performance, while the optional viewer component supports interactive scenarios such as annotation, review, and form filling. This gives teams more control over how PDFs are handled and helps reduce reliance on separate PDF software in reporting, compliance, data collection, and collaboration scenarios.

Document Solutions for PDF JS is licensed per developer and is available in several license options for differing distribution needs. Team licenses are also available for multiple developers within the same organization. See our Document Solutions for PDF JS licensing page for full details.

Add Dynamic Calculations to Reports

May 6, 2026
Define calculated fields to generate values at runtime, reducing the need to modify underlying data sources or preprocessing logic.

Calculated fields are dynamic values derived from existing data within reporting components. They enable complex data manipulations, calculations, and transformations, providing enhanced data analysis capabilities. By creating new fields based on existing data, calculated fields offer flexibility and efficiency, allowing users to perform calculations, aggregations, and logical comparisons directly within the report. This empowers users to generate insights, visualize trends, and make data-driven decisions without requiring modifications to the underlying data source, ultimately improving report accuracy and usability.

Several React reporting controls offer support for calculated fields:

  • DevExpress Reporting provides a comprehensive expression engine that allows calculated fields to be defined using a rich syntax, supporting functions and conditional logic.
  • ActiveReportsJS by MESCIUS enables developers to create calculated fields using JavaScript-based expressions, offering flexibility for dynamic calculations.
  • Stimulsoft Reports.JS includes built-in support for calculated fields with an intuitive expression editor, allowing users to define formulas that can reference other fields.
